Sound Sandwhich

Since returning after Christmas the course has yet to return to its previous balance of classes per week. We used to have several full-days each week and lots going on. Whilst there's still a lot going on, with the next two weeks being quite busy with deadlines (Richard's script, Andy's Moodle assignment, The Arches music video and the incoming assignment from Barbara and Kim), I'm quite ready to have a busy week: I use my time better when there's less of it. Weird, innit?

But last week wasn't too bad. Sound was a little repetitive - in that it was a repetition of previous lessons and we had it twice in the same week. But this helped me. I'm not great with the sound stuff, so a little repetition helps. It's just getting used to setting it up. I think I'll need to take it out at some point to practice before the assessment, though.

I missed Richard's class on Tuesday as I was at the Arches with Charlotte and Benoit watching music videos. Not the most constructive use of time, but the bit where we discussed what the project is was useful. I think what Charlotte and I are discussing will work for our song. But it's long and quite repetitive, and we've got to create interesting content for it. A bit challenging, but that's always good. And that evening Paul updated us on what we missed in Richard's class, and I was a little worried to hear that we only had two weeks to write our next 3-min script. But again, challenging is always good.

Andy's classes were insightful, as usual. I realise that sounds like I'm sucking up, because Andy is no doubt [amongst my readers/my only reader], but I genuinely do gain insight from them. I was a little shocked to realise that I follow [a lot/all] of the shows that Andy used as examples of US Network Shows. But, then again, with the volume that I follow it would be hard not to touch on a few. The documentary on The Wire has reignited my interest in watching that show, but I'm seriously so far behind with some shows at the moment that I'm better saving it until the dry-spell which comes in US TV during the summer. That way I'll have something worth watching.

Oh, and my Back to the Future review is coming soon.

Fin.
